Chapter 936 - Desert

Li Huowang was momentarily stunned by Yang Na's words. He wanted to argue but soon realized she was right.

If Ji Zai, Ba-Hui, the Three Pure Ones, the Five Dhyani Buddhas, Doulao, and the others were unable to win, then the enemy must be extraordinarily powerful. The Heavenly Mater could not defeat them either, and his current attempts to keep her out of the conflict were ultimately meaningless.

Something isn’t right.

Li Huowang shook his head vigorously, attempting to clear his thoughts from her perspective. His head began to throb slightly.

“It’s not like that. You don’t have to worry about any of this. You can just... leave! Go home and get better! You’re not the Heavenly Mater! Nana, you’re just ill!”

Yang Na looked confused. “Get better? Are you saying I'm mentally ill? If I am, what about you? Are you saying you're also mentally ill? Are Ji Zai, the Simings, and everything else just figments of your imagination?”

While speaking, Yang Na reached out and gently held Li Huowang's hand, her eyes filled with concern. “Huowang, you have to decide whether the Simings are real or not. You can’t claim that I’m mentally ill while believing the Simings are real for you.”

"But..." Li Huowang frowned, standing still with pursed lips.

Yang Na burst into laughter. She embraced him, wrapping her arms around his waist and planting a kiss on his lips.

Then, she turned around, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted out into the deep blue sea, releasing everything she had bottled up inside.

She raised her scarred wrists with joy, letting the sea breeze gently rustle through her hair. At that moment, she let out a burst of passion and energy that suited her age.

“I’ve decided not to commit suicide anymore! Since I’m in charge of death, I will deliver death to our enemies!

“Whether it’s a Siming or a Greater Siming standing in our way, we’ll kill them without mercy, whatever they might be!”

Li Huowang looked at her as she smiled. He wanted to say something but couldn’t find the right words.

Compared to her past self, Yang Na seemed much happier, as if she had let go of many of her burdens.

After thinking for a long while, Li Huowang sighed deeply. He opened his arms and hugged her tightly from behind.

“Alright! Let’s deal with them together! Let them come! Let them taste the consequences of messing with us, the Simings of the Baiyu Capital!”

After saying that, he pulled out a military knife from behind and handed it to Yang Na, then guided her hand to grip it firmly.

The best defense was a good offense. Since there was no way to avoid it, the only option left was to do everything possible to eliminate those who wished them harm!

Li Huowang heard a knock on the metal door. He turned around, still holding Bai Lingmiao, and saw Zhao Shuangdian. “The coordinates are almost set. It’s time to discuss our strategy.”

Li Huowang’s expression gradually became serious. He led Bai Lingmiao into the cabin.

A tablet displayed a map of the ocean. Zhao Shuangdian rapidly moved her fingers to zoom in on the map.

“There was a miscalculation before. I originally thought it was on the island, but it turns out it’s underwater.”

“Underwater? Do you mean we’ll have to dive this time?”

“Exactly. The environment is extremely harsh this time. Although we’ve prepared diving suits, everyone must be very careful.”

"Under the deep sea, huh..." Li Huowang furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on the deep-sea map displayed on the tablet.

What kind of projection is this illusion? Could the place where this Siming lives truly be so bizarre? Maybe the Simings of the Baiyu Capital have to prepare for this.

“There will be headsets in the diving suits. This time, Ling’er and I won’t be going down. We’ll be guiding you from above using your cameras. Once underwater, follow my instructions. If communications are cut off, follow Qing Wanglai’s orders.”

“And Li Huowang, your bulletproof vest won’t work underwater, so don’t be too reckless.”

“If my vest won’t work, will your firearms work underwater?”

“Don’t worry about that. Ours won’t work, but neither will theirs,” Qing Wanglai said.

“Are you sure the projections we’re dealing with now are still human?” Li Huowang’s words sent a chill through everyone present.

Li Huowang didn’t believe there would be some kind of illegal drug factory underwater this time.

He began to observe the people in the room. The girl whose lips twitched was naturally there, just like Chen Hongyu, who had returned to life.

Since she was here, the two men had naturally arrived as well.

One was a cold-faced skinny man, and the other was a burly man with the word “courage” tattooed on his shoulder. They seemed like mere spectators, rarely offering any opinions.

Li Huowang couldn’t figure out what Simings the three of them were. However, since they were Zhao Shuangdian’s people, they were surely Simings from Baiyu Capital.

Still, there was no point in speculating without seeing it for himself.

Everyone put on their diving suits and began to descend the metal ladder.

Li Huowang removed the oxygen mask from his mouth and looked up at Yang Na. “Once we’re down there, stay close to me.”

“I’m not that weak. After all, I’m the Siming of Death! I can’t die.”

Li Huowang didn't have a chance to explain the story of the previous Siming of Death, Qian Fu. Yang Na jumped into the icy water before he could.

The water was extremely cold. Li Huowang shivered when he jumped in, and Zhao Shuangdian’s voice immediately came through his earpiece.

“Hello? Can you hear me? If you can, please cross your hands in front of the camera.”

Li Huowang crossed his hands and then lowered them. He carefully observed everything underwater.

He trembled at the sight of the seabed. It was a desert. There was an entire desert underwater.

Golden dunes rose and fell, appearing dreamlike under the shimmering reflection of the water.

What is going on here? Is this the strange place where god Yu’er lives?

As Li Huowang observed the scene below, Qing Wanglai pulled out two sticks from behind and broke them apart. A thick green mist began to dye the surrounding water green.

What is he doing with his Heavenly Dao?

Li Huowang watched the scene cautiously, realizing that the Three Pure Ones had come well-prepared.

At that moment, Zhao Shuangdian’s voice explained through his earpiece. “This is shark repellent, meant to prevent attacks from sea creatures. Stay close to Ling’er, and don’t fall behind.”

While they were all wearing diving suits, Ling’er’s occasional twitches were still very noticeable.

Even underwater, she continued to type away at her small computer. However, the keyboard was now embedded in the sleeve of her diving suit.
